Visit Gelderland


Gelderland is one of the twelve provinces in the Netherlands, located in the eastern part of the country. It borders Germany to its east and Belgium to its south. Gelderland is home to several national parks, forests, and nature reserves that offer a wealth of outdoor activities for tourists. One popular tourist destination is Hoge Veluwe National Park, which boasts sand dunes, wetlands and large wooded areas for hiking and cycling. Another must-see spot is Arnhem Landgoederen estate with its beautiful gardens and lakeside paths.

Gelderland also has a rich cultural heritage with numerous castles throughout the province that tell stories from centuries ago. Among them are Huis Doorn, an impressive 14th century castle where Emperor Wilhelm II lived until his death in 1941; Kasteel Amerongen in the municipality of Utrechtse Heuvelrug; and Castle de Haar near Utrecht where Queen Beatrix held her wedding reception in 1966.

For those looking for more modern attractions there are plenty as well - including Apenheul Primate Park near Apeldoorn which is home to some 600 primates from over 60 different species! Visitors can take guided tours or enjoy watching shows performed by animal actors!
